If they add major changes to the engine or something that takes more than just extra art and FM to match I would be willing to reconsider.
I have no idea when the SDK will come out, but thats what the developer has plans to do. Apparently the SDK will only allow modders to build small maps and that will leave the large theater maps for the developer. The business model has changed somewhat to allow modders instead of deterring them. They were hoping to attract the large FSX type community players and modders, that will certainly help the bottom line. Nothing says you can't have servers with unarmed aircraft using the future features and maps of the new IL-2 series. Hopefully the SDK will allow modders to improve the large development maps, not build them but improve them.
